Benjamin Bridge Cabernet Franc Rosé 2014
Gaspereau Valley, Nova Scotia, CanadaTheir inaugural vintage of this Cabernet Franc Rosé is not just a first for sparkling wine-renown house Benjamin Bridge, but also for Nova Scotia. These late harvest grapes were harvested early November - a risky proposition, though entirely worth it. Cabernet franc's herbal, leafiness is entwined with a crisp salinity and bright cranberry, cherry, blood orange, pink grapefruit fruit. Fresh herbs (mint, cilantro, basil) surprise, as well as the concentrated elegance. 10.5 percent alcohol makes this a winner any time of the day.Tasted: 03 September 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:NS | $23.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
